Monsoon season, rainy season, whatever you want to call it, when the skies open up, even your best umbrella won’t help you stay dry. My tips for rainy season in Korea: - Wear quick-dry clothing because no matter what you do, you will get wet. Wet jeans suck! @uniqlo always has great dresses, pants, and shorts that quick-dry in the summer. - Wear water-resistant shoes. Either go boots or sandals but don’t wear any shoes that could get ruined with an onslaught of water. - Convenience stores sell umbrellas and ponchos when you’re in a pinch and it suddenly started raining while you were out and about. You could end up with quite the collection of umbrellas because of this so get them multicolored so you can match the care you’re headed to 😂🤣 - Some places in Seoul flood every year during monsoon season, Gangnam for example, try to steer clear of low areas of the city when the rains really pour. One year even higher ground Hongdae was so flooded, the water breached the bus floor I was in. Don’t panic, but stay safe and do heed warnings surrounding torrential downpours and possible flooding.
